    Research Narrative

    My work is focused on the development and application of advanced statistical methods for the integration of omics data. My research interest is based on the development of advanced statistical approaches to integrate omics and clinical/epidemiological data to better understand complex diseases. Now, I am involved in the analysis of Next Generation Sequencing data to better explain the rejection process of kidney transplants.
